Storylines to follow this season, as we approach tip off of game one:
Can Porch Pirates end their 2nd place streak?
My team has finished 2nd in the Great 8 and lost in the conference finals in 4 consecutive seasons. Will this be the year we break through to the top? Or perhaps some other threats will rise up and I'll finish even lower!
Who's ready to rise to the challenge?
Each of the last 4 seasons featured at least one team promoting in from D4 and making the playoffs, with one of those teams securing the overall number one seed! A couple different teams look like potential threats, we shall see what unfolds!
Will the Peppers make their second straight playoffs by doing absolutely nothing?
Green Peppers has not logged in since the 2nd half of s59, only not going bot because they paid for Supporter. Despite this, they managed to extend their playoff streak to 4 seasons. Will enough Great 8 teams be able to click 'Balanced' and 'Fast' on their GDP to knock them down in the standings?
To tank, or not to tank?
Kurgans joins us from D2 after tanking in season 60 for a 1-22 record. But they've purchased two new players capable of competing in D3 over the past week; will they choose to join the log-jam of 6 other solid teams competing for the Great 8, or do they just want to meet minimum salary?
Good luck to everyone over the next 14 weeks!
